Short Version: One of our vehicles came from the factory with a Full Sized Oil Filter but the aftermarket filters are the short version. I've checked all the major brands and they all reference the smaller filter. Does it matter? My thinking is the larger the filter, the more media there is to...

I did a little more digging on the Net and found this picture of a 71 Panther with the same graphics. By 71 they were using a flat bumper including the color graphics as shown therefore the Fixer Upper has a 69 body and engine with an Aftermarket Hood and Graphics. The 71 also has the Puma Hood...

Sitting here watching the rain fall and the snow melt I came across this story over on Vintage Sleds.com. The guy that sang the"Snowmobile Song" Stompin Tom Connors passed away this week. Wikipedia says that he was known to have smoked 100 cigarettes a day and drank just as hard living to the...

from inside the bridge The short trail to the bridge is on the maps and there is signage on 101. It's a nice place to stop and take a break. Here's two more from inside the bridge.

We had a great time riding out of Phillips, Wisconsin this past week. The trails and grooming were outstanding and Phillip's reputation as a "snowmobile friendly" town continues. Here's a few pictures from the trip. A big thank you to the groomers and local clubs of Price County. Some...
